Evil little shit

Wicked tongue shot.

I've adopted her as my persona

This is how close I got to them.

Played it like a cover shooter. Stayed behind something.

[austere crag]

anyone want 2 months game pass for new subscribers? i got it with nitro, but i already have GPU on my own microsoft account

[lament fulcrum]

I'm not eligible

),;

[sharp phoenix]

[vivid oar]

It pushed me back like a baby

[topaz depot]

I remember the first time I shot a large rifle caliber like that. My friend and I got a really good deal on a service mosin at a gun show. We cleaned it up and I was so stoked to finally shoot a high caliber "sniper rifle" the thing's stock was just solid wood and the buffer was a bent metal plate that flexed. I fired one strip clip out of it and had the bruise for weeks lol. 7.62 kicks no joke! I think the sv-98 is chambered in the same.

[vivid oar]

Woww

[topaz depot]

But yeah same thing first shot with the mosin I felt like I was a stuffed animal getting hit with a hydraulic piston lol

[lament fulcrum]

My friend has a mosin.

[vivid oar]

How was the mosin??? I've never shot a 762 this one was a .308

[topaz depot]

Honestly scary! It was an old service mosin that was greased wayyy too heavily and was super old (but it was 125 bucks!) so we cleaned the hell out of it but we were still super worried it had gunk in the chamber or barrel so first few trigger pulls we were both sweating hahaha

[bleak turret]

Are there SV 98's with .308?

[topaz depot]

I just looked up the samething beau and apparently some american manufactured models are in .308 winchester

[waxen tree]

I shot a mosin with nothing but wood on the butt stock. It was torture I won’t even lie lol

[vivid oar]

Oh wow 😬

[topaz depot]

It's really cool now though! And it has never once jammed or messed up I think my friend still has it hanging in his house.

[vivid oar]

I mean was there a chance it would misfire or blow up in ur face

Ooh

[topaz depot]

We also got a lee enfield at the same show and I kept that one!

[vivid oar]

I guess there is here in Canada :p

[waxen tree]

Swa face reveal???

[vivid oar]

Hair reveal ig

[topaz depot]

We were super worried about a misfire ruining the barrel more than anything else or since the bolt was greased so heavily it flying out of the lock when we shot lol

[vivid oar]

Ahhahah

[topaz depot]

Seriously the thing was greased to HEAVEN and back globs of it around the bolt lol

[vivid oar]

How did that happen tho

Did someone manually drown it in grease?

[topaz depot]

Had to of lol. The guy had tons of WW2 rifles at his stand so he must have collected them from a bunch of places. That one must have had an interesting owner

[vivid oar]

Hahah

Probs was testing it or smth

How much grease until it cease

[topaz depot]

I always liked WW2 rifles though if you ever get to shoot any of those they are neat.

[topaz depot]

For real the metal plated ones are WORSE in my opinion we unscrewed the buffer and just cut some rubber to affix to it instead shoots nice now, still only really wanna shoot a clip or two out of it at a time though hahaha.

[waxen tree]

How y’all other f1 fans doing with this never ending break between races?

[vivid oar]

Next time I'll try to get those

I think they have mosin, SKS and M14

This helped me in the range ;))

[trim wind]

oh mine is in the laundry :x

[vivid oar]

O.O do u wear it often

[trim wind]

nah probably once every 2 weeks or so

[vivid oar]

Ahhh

I should do that too, wouldn't want to wear it down wearing every week

[lament fulcrum]

You guys got shirts?

: (

I wish I could find a place in this world were I feel like I belong.

[spiral phoenix]

i dont have one ;-;

[waxen tree]

Where you get this lol

[lament fulcrum]

I'm gonna go revive a dead roblox game w/ chat gpt. As well as cry in a corner that I didn't get a TF shirt.

Ball my eyes out

Future is a weird place btw.

[bright cloud]

I want a shirt

[finite grove]

I can not remember the name of this YouTube video, I was really young. A senior marksman was shooting his Mosin at the desert range, casually take his time and adjust his posture at a shy of 1,300 yards.... with an IRON SIGHT.

[lament fulcrum]

My life in a nutshell

[sharp phoenix]

You've got it

[finite grove]

Make sure let go what you can not hold, the less weights on your shoulder, the better.

and Hi Luke 🙂

[pseudo spade]

DRIP?! WHERE

[vivid oar]

[lament fulcrum]

I'm so depressed

Idk what to do.

People are cruel

[vivid oar]

What happened

[lament fulcrum]

Its breaking me a little.

Just a lot in such a short time.

My best friends on playstation are all gone.

I hate my job

I have no idea where to even begin to make my ambitions happen.

I literally got hit by a car the other day and no gives a shit

The cops didn't even write a report.

[vivid oar]

Are you physically okay?

[lament fulcrum]

Yes

[vivid oar]

I'm sorry that all that happened :/ it must be overwhelming

[lament fulcrum]

Stress is a different story. I just want to escape.

[vivid oar]

What are the ambitions you're trying to pursue

[lament fulcrum]

I'm trying to finish an album. No one will listen to. I'd like to play it somewhere.

Get a job that fulfilling and actually allows me to take care of myself.

Leave my soul draining city and never look back.

[vivid oar]

://

An album? What are you making??

[lament fulcrum]

Its trance

Deep trance

[vivid oar]

[lament fulcrum]

I'm trying to make that a thing

Dude, I'm literally so bad at life I need an AI to tell me what I should do. Fml

[vivid oar]

So how's the album thing going then

Did you finish it

[lament fulcrum]

Idk

It could be finished

Like I have 80 songs.

[vivid oar]

80 songs??

[lament fulcrum]

Only like 9 or 10 are album quality

[vivid oar]

Ahh

You could always turn it into an EP

[lament fulcrum]

I'm just picky, I have alot of decent songs.

[vivid oar]

I'm coming from working with a music artist for 2 and a half years, this feels like it all over again you both are the same haha

[lament fulcrum]

Wdym?

We both cry and self deprecate?

Lmao

[vivid oar]

No regarding the music situation

Are you trying to make it ur living?

[lament fulcrum]

That'd be nice, I don't wanna answer phones forever.

99% of people that hear my music compare it to video game music.

So maybe that's a hint idk.

I'd love to work on video games. I can't program. I can only do level designs and music.

It all feels impossible.

Like I have all the pieces I'm just too inept to put them together.

I also have no friends irl at this point. I have no place to go and have fun.

No escape

[vivid oar]

Why don't u

There are many indie games who would hire you

Based on their needs ofc

[lament fulcrum]

Idk how to find them

I'm not connected like that

[vivid oar]

Itch.io
Fiverr
Upwork
These are some if you don't have connections

I don't think it's ever late to connect
If you find a game which interests you, contact them and ask them if they need something
Make a simple portfolio with your interests and why you wanna help them with the music and whats ur specialty

[lament fulcrum]

Dude, I'm like a video game guru

I've played so many games

I appreciate the help, I'll look into those sites.

[vivid oar]

I wanna make sure u get to find something

Also not just those websites but any social website

[lament fulcrum]

I'll dm you a link to one of my songs if you want.

[vivid oar]

Sure :3

[lament fulcrum]

Hell yeah

Terrifying

[vivid oar]

Personally I have barely listened to trance in my life

But it sounds really nice from what I've heard

Are you part of any trance community

You know a guy I was working with, he was also low streams and he'd been trying for 3 years. A year later his favourite artist made a discord and he joined and got close to the artist and a year later.. they collabed

They collabed 2 times lol

And he went from 5 streàms per month to 10k

I was fortunate enough to see all of that from a third persons perspective it was awesome

Same thing happened with another friend of mine, he collabed with 3 popular verified artists just by being in their community and knowing them and showing them and asking them

[lament fulcrum]

That'd be epic, however, The artists I like are in their 50's and 60's now

Not to mention don't speak English

Some do I suppose

Mostly German and Russian

Should I start a discord?

Mind over matter?

I need a damn time machine.

[vivid oar]

Why not both

The people who were in that discord where I witnessed this all miracles also made their own discords

They're semi popular and not bad at all

But you need a gateway for people to come in

So if you're involved in a community at first it's also a nice way to have people take interest in ur music

It's better to have 10 loyal listeners than 10000 that only stay for 1 month if that makes sense

[lament fulcrum]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[nocturne tundra]

Good morning egg lovers

[violet horizon]

Hey lettuce

[cinder wedge]

[austere crag]

Late morning chat

It’s 10 AM i had no wi-fi

I couldn’t send the obligatory timezone message til now

[ornate maple]

Hey there!

Slow morning

[sharp phoenix]

Morning

[ornate maple]

Hii

How's it going on this fine Wednesday?

[austere crag]

It feels like the server tickrate IRL just halved today

Everything just feels slower

[ornate maple]

Let's enjoy that and look at some trees outside

We'll have lots of fast days yet

[coarse sleet]

Yooo

It's Luke good morning gamer

[austere crag]

Right… my birthday’s in <14 days. I forgot.

[coarse sleet]

Not true

[ornate maple]

[austere crag]

The voice in my head would like to disagree

[vivid sparrow]

sup, brothers from EU

was just playing battlefield 2042 and I struggled immensely

[south turret]

Ah I see the problem here. You accidentally played bf 2042

it happens

[vivid sparrow]

ultimate game pass on Xbox, didn't purchase it directly. managed to play it both on my Xbox Series X and PC. breakthrough is some broken, but intense gameplay

I would NEVER buy it for 60 dollars. over my dead body.

[south turret]

Yeah it's not better than the free to play fps games out there unfortunately

[vivid sparrow]

it's shit

but I gotta practice in it for The Finals

[austere crag]

Don’t worry you can pay $70 for the latest COD and get an experience that’s more boring than the elements you can play for free

[vivid sparrow]

hahahahahaha AAA gaming is a joke

they decide to raise the price by 10 dollars and still not give us an acceptable experience

[austere crag]

• when you buy games from indie studios you put money into the pockets of either just one person or a small team, and you’re basically allowing them to keep living off of making video games

When you pay for a 3A title, who the hell knows where that money’s going? Most likely just the staff, not the people that actually made the game.

[south turret]

games like Against the Storm are much better than most AAA titles out there. It's clear most companies focus on money instead of a good game, which is really backwards unfortunately

[austere crag]

Chat is snoozing

https://tenor.com/view/cat-asleep-falling-gif-25160070

[ornate maple]

Yeah 11 am CEST isn't our loudest hour

[silk bolt]

this is usually when discords are at their most dead, I've found

not just this one

[late prawn]

Hey I'm workin over here

[silk bolt]

Europeans are at school or at work, Americans haven't woken up yet, Asia is wrapping up the workday or eating or whatever

[austere crag]

Alright ChatGPT told me to discuss “The impact of social media on mental health” so bet (i won’t make this serious at all will i)

So uhhghghghhhhh i dislike social media it’s stupid

[ornate maple]

Hellooooo

[ornate maple]

Hi Hank!

[ornate maple]

Okay but what does it do to your mental health

[late prawn]

I'm trying to reduce my social media consumption. I have fb around for groups I get real life information from, and my vice, twitter.

[austere crag]

It’s just a braindead popularity contest where everyone tries to prove that they live the best life a human being so why even bother

[late prawn]

The rest is just a few hundred hours of discording per day. Can't be that bad for you, right?

[austere crag]

I’ve last logged onto instagram 4 years ago and it was because i received a message from a friend there

And my facebook account is a goddamn throwaway

[ornate maple]

Not using facebook when most of your friends are over 30 is impossible

[austere crag]

Never use it at all basically, it’s just there for messenger and my oculus ID

Doesn’t do anything else, and my last post on it is from 2016

[ornate maple]

At least Discord doesn't storm you with ads!

[ornate maple]

Best way to use facebook tbh

[late prawn]

Yeah, and the housing association, the neighbourhood group etc.

[austere crag]

Discord’s the place i sit on the most when it comes to digital human interaction

This community is great and i feel a sense of belonging here so this is where i spend most of my time chatting online

[ornate maple]

I cannot imagine having a neighborhood group

[austere crag]

And i guess i have a reddit account dunno if it really counts as social media either way i spend my time on reddit either commenting suggestions to various tech problems (i like helping people with topics i’m well versed in) and random funny comments which made me accidentally get 17 thousand points that do absolutely nothing

[ornate maple]

<- lives nowhere

[ornate maple]

Reddit is so good if you know how to use it right

[silk bolt]

hey nate ❤️

[austere crag]

Hmmm i need to extend the topic i only gained 14 eggs pea points

Did i mention that i literally never installed or went to the tiktok website with only one exception

I once a link to some video on tiktok (it was a funny video minus the funny) and then i never watched a tiktok video ever again

I just find the culture on the platform so nuclear, it’s basically twitter if it was a content creation platfor

[silk bolt]

the whole "comparing highlight reels of our lives" style of social media, like facebook and instagram, is on the way out. facebook is used by elder millennials and boomers for its intended purpose -- networking with friends, relatives and common interest groups -- and young'uns are abandoning traditional social media in favour of stuff like bereal and tiktok. discord is a socialization & messaging app, I wouldn't really call it social media, reddit is more for information and memes than anything else, and twitter is the funniest site on the internet

[ornate maple]

Twitter is the equivalent of when medieval villagers went to the town square to watch whatever drama or execution was happening

[silk bolt]

especially now that the most incompetent baron of all time is in charge

[austere crag]

Being a person without a twitter account i find watching what’s going down on it fascinating

[silk bolt]

watching elon do his best to try and drive twitter into the ground, while being almost universally mocked by its own userbase, is the funniest thing ever

[ornate maple]

God I wish that were me

[austere crag]

Especially the whole cancelling thing

[silk bolt]

I have a twitter account but I am 100% a reply guy, I never tweet anything myself or do anything to try and gather a following

[austere crag]

They really be trying to boot someone off the internet over something they said 8 years ago 🎪

[silk bolt]

that sounds miserable

[ornate maple]

Cohost seems to be catching on relatively well. Mastodon is also still alive somewhat

[austere crag]

If there was a bet on which social media platform will fall the soonest from today i’d place my bet on twitch

Their ToS is basically gatekeeping anyone and everyone (except for egirls weirdly enough, they’re always forgiven, and that ain’t a coincidence imo) that might want to create an audience (and generate twitch income) on their platform

[ornate maple]

I feel like they have a rather good relationship with the content creators, so I would not say it will have trouble surviving

[austere crag]

TL;DR on the topic: Miiverse was the best social media platform rest in peace

[ornate maple]

And Club Penguin

[austere crag]

Speaking of nintendo, i swear what snapped inside of the company in 2017\

They went from actively updating the community on everything, keeping up with social media, and getting rid of friend codes to pretending they’re apple 2

No communication, random announcements, and the most lifeless design language of all time

The switch’s home menu is somehow the least interesting UI out of the last 2 console generations combined

It feels like they climbed back on top and fell back on their habit of complete radio silence

Not to mention just how poorly they handle some of the new things that arrived with the switch

[sharp phoenix]

busy, very very busy for some reason. How's your Wednesday going?

[sharp phoenix]

ello gamer

[ornate maple]

Rather slowly, but the weather is really nice, the kind where you open a window and get nice fresh air 🍃

[sharp phoenix]

what's fresh air

[ornate maple]

Oh boy

[lament fulcrum]

I despise Twitter. Always have.

It's a great way to throw brains cells at the wall.

Really social media in general.

[south turret]

I suggest only using twitter if you're getting paid to do so

[austere crag]

So that wasn’t very nice

I’m relatively certain I had an anxiety attack just a second ago

[south turret]

[austere crag]

Basically yeah

[south turret]

I suggest waking up every day in the morning, eating a lot of meat and excercising to avoid such afflictions

[ornate maple]

I don't think meat is a proven anti-anxiety medication, but sleeping a lot is

[south turret]

Yes it is, if you eat lot of meat and fat, you won't stuff your body with bad stuff like carbohydrates as much. They also contain tons of very important vitamins and minerals that keep your mind and body healthy and are full of highest quality protein available to get stronger

[trim wind]

Keto?

[south turret]

You don't have to do keto, but that's definitely good

If you keep eating food without meat, chances are you're bombarding your body with food that stresses it way too much and fucks up with your hormone balance, which means more anxiety

[bleak turret]

I don't think being a vegetarian or vegan will mess with your anxiety fren, thats more for therapy and psychiatrist-care to take measures against. Though a good exercise routine will most definitely help you get things settled, or at least regulate your sleep which is important for anxiety.

[south turret]

Your autoimmune diseases might disappear, your joints will be stronger and sturdier and you have more energy mentally because your whole body and nervous system can operate optimally

[ornate maple]

Let's keep diet advice off the server, that's a matter for doctors

[south turret]

This is not a matter for doctors

[trim wind]

Not sure is this is absolute

[ornate maple]

Definitely keep a varied diet with all the nutrients you need, but this doesn't mean you have to eat meat or even lots of it

[trim wind]

I don’t really see a relation either and I stopped eating meat 17 years ago

[south turret]

Well if you want to keep your anxiety in check, eating lots of meat definitely helps, a lot

[austere crag]

I do interfasting to maintain my lean build

But meat i dont eat alot of

Mostly veggies and fruits

[trim wind]

[bleak turret]

Absolutely, hence why I mentioned. But we're not doctors nor nutritionists, so medical advice is not something that we can provide here

[ornate maple]

Different things help different folks, but things like keto without doctors guiding you can be very dangerous. So, I'd rather we keep all specific diet advice away from here

[south turret]

I can provide nutritional information that helps everyone with my knowledge about human physiology, nutrition and neurobiology

[bleak turret]

You can also listen to nate so we can end the talk

[ornate maple]

Feel free to chat about it in DMs if notcraft is interested!

[south turret]

What the hell?

[ornate maple]

We trust you're telling to the best of your knowledge, but I hope you understand that we can't verify people's qualifications and good will here, so we'd rather keep away from potentially sensitive advice

Especially since some folks may be sensitive to the topics of diet and nutrition due to their own struggles

[south turret]

This information will help them if their diet is a mess...

[nocturne tundra]

How much nutrition does Nama Tama provide

[south turret]

All I can say is that eggs are very good

[nocturne tundra]

[ornate maple]

Yes, but do NOT eat the Nama

[nocturne tundra]

the strangest thing in my opinion is the modern warfare theme. I think a WWII COD would be a better setting

[cinder wedge]

[rotund gyro]

not strange at all. what would sell more? having captain price, soap and ghost be in the board game, or generic WW2 soldier?

GOOD MORNING

Morning

[coarse sleet]

morning

[ornate maple]

Hello hello hello

[gleaming ether]

🌞

[austere crag]

Get ready for free activities and new nitro avatar decorations til the 15th of june

[coarse sleet]

no

[austere crag]

This event will start on the 13th of may

[coarse sleet]

pog

[austere crag]

I’m surprised they’ll make it run all the way until june

We are officially 5 years away from discord being able to own a discord account

Because if discord’s becoming 8 years old (how the hell), then

X + 8 = 13
X = 13 - 8
X = 5

[ornate maple]

That's a long time... I've been using it since like 2017

[austere crag]

I’ve been on discord since 2018, but my previous accounts are lost to time

[nocturne tundra]

2016 goes brrrrt

[austere crag]

Anyone still remember this feature?

I loved the games tab. Such a shame it’s gone

[nocturne tundra]

do you remember the discord store?

I actually bought a game there

[austere crag]

I still have warframe on my account

Can’t forget about free games with nitro

[ornate maple]

I don't remember this, but I miss the old logo and font

[austere crag]

I got used to the current logo and brand colour, but the font is awful. The OG was way more recognizable

Also this login page background is so iconic

The discord logo in the corner was also animated. From what i remember, it was a blob in the colour of the dark theme that would slide over the login page when you’d authenticate and log in. Good times

[ornate maple]

I wasn't using Discord often enough to remember that hahaha

I only started using it more actively around 2019/20

And then it spiraled, you know... into work stuff

[austere crag]

Discord’s gaming personality faded away in 2020

Mostly because casual consumers were looking for a platform when [unspecified world event] happened

[ornate maple]

I think it's good to expand to more folks, and make the platform more accessible! It's definitely something the internet needed, i.e. social instances to make easy groupchats. I would say the only downside is of course an archiving issue, and I wish there was a way to index the information from Discord on search engines

[austere crag]

It’s moved on, but the memory of hopping on VC with the boys to play Fortnite (back when it wasn’t an overly competitive game with a pretty toxic community) will stay with me til the day i leave this earth

[rotund gyro]

I'm glad it's gone. Waste of resources

[austere crag]

Still better than the nitro tab….

[trim wind]

Wow..

[rotund gyro]

I mean I guess but the games overview thingy was redundant

[trim wind]

I love my nitro tab.. whatever it is

[ornate maple]

There's a nitro tab?

[austere crag]

Talking about this stinker here (not my image)

It only haunts users without nitro, so if you are subscribed it isn’t visible for obvious reasons

[ornate maple]

...TIL that there was a limit

[austere crag]

I thought there’s still a server limit

[ornate maple]

When I hit around 50 servers I panic and leave half of them

[austere crag]

Relatable

I went into hiding around February but then discovered some silly gun pew pewing game called THE FINALS®

And the rest is history

And now i’m almost a part of this server’s most “prestigious” rank

[trim wind]

Ah you didn’t hear? Finalist role will be moved to lvl 25 next week

[austere crag]

If it wasn’t announced in #server-announcements i don’t trust it 🗿

[ornate maple]

Only mildly being twerked on

[sharp phoenix]

give it an hour or two and the twerk emoters will be back online

[gleaming ether]

the calm before the storm

[austere crag]

I’m pretty sure it’s DM | Deer that is in possession of the twerk emote arsenal

[sharp phoenix]

heyyy, it's nutcraft

[gleaming ether]

[austere crag]

Indeed it is

I updated my status ig

Usually i just rely on discord to display whatever i’m up to but i’ll change it to mention to a countdown to my existence anniversary day

[sharp phoenix]

happy early existence day

[coarse sleet]

Yessir

I support this

Join me brother

[sharp phoenix]

the worst teamup in history

[coarse sleet]

C'mon luke

[trim wind]

I’m out

[coarse sleet]

nnooooo

Pov y

[trim wind]

I found Saint Dusty

[coarse sleet]

What?

[trim wind]

And I have repented for my sins

Don’t worry about it.. it was an EE joke

[coarse sleet]

This is so sad

Why did you do this me

[sharp phoenix]

EE is taking over everything

[coarse sleet]

On god

[nocturne tundra]

Electrical Engineering?

[sharp phoenix]

nah, those people are too lazy to take anything over

[coarse sleet]

[gleaming ether]

LMFAO

[ornate maple]

That meme is so cute

[sharp phoenix]

[cinder wedge]

doesn't wumpus canonically have no friends

[ornate maple]

lies

slander

Wumpus hasn't touched grass for years

[cinder wedge]

i definitely saw a screenshot of it in the last year

[coarse sleet]

Good

[gleaming ether]

do nate and Jag switch roles now?

[sharp phoenix]

Jag would bring the server down in seconds if he was CM

[gleaming ether]

[ornate maple]

I'm Wumpus's friend

[cinder wedge]

Wumpus has no friends
therefore nate isn't real

[austere crag]

Wow that tweet is a dinosaur

[ornate maple]

I feel like one of the loading screens says something like "Wumpus used to not have friends"

[coarse sleet]

I would be a great cm

[cinder wedge]

typical jag misinfo

[gleaming ether]

cm = chaos man

[coarse sleet]

No I would be great, send people off to other games when needed

[sharp phoenix]

atm the empty friends list is just

[sharp phoenix]

the amount of misinformation you would spread

[coarse sleet]

Nah I would be a good yolk

[gleaming ether]

for every misinformation you have to help out 20 key beggars

key?

[coarse sleet]

No

Nvm

[austere crag]

Why can i see random users from here in the messages tab on mobile

I mean i’m fine with it it makes me feel like i have friends but it’s a weird design choice

[sharp phoenix]

we are your friends

[austere crag]

[gleaming ether]

yeah that confuses me every once in awhile as well

[austere crag]

Same thing applies to the favourites tab (or server), it also appears in the messages tab

So i have #🥚┇off-topic inside of my DMs out of all of the places in the world

[trim wind]

Really.. didn’t know that was a thing tbh

[coarse sleet]

[trim wind]

I see I see

I have.. nothing but accidental kills

[molten spade]

Lmfao such as landmines?

[trim wind]

Such as placing landmines on a ceiling to blow up the objective above but accidentally killing someone in the process when shooting the mines

[rotund gyro]

So I don’t have anything orange except for my McLaren cap..

I thought I had a bag of cheap orange shirts and hats etc

and a friend of mine is forcing me to go to the vrijmarkt so .. I guess I'll just die xD or ask her to get me a cheap shirt somewhere xD

[austere crag]

Is rank XP calculated based on the total length of the message?

[ornate maple]

No I don't think so

[ornate maple]

It's tie-dye time

[trim wind]

I don't have dye to tie-dye with haha

I could grab a white shirt and just throw a ton of paprika powder over it

[trim wind]

[lament fulcrum]

[trim wind]

Beau is played by Joaquin Phoenix

[bleak turret]

What an honor

[sharp phoenix]

But why is Beau afraid ?

[trim wind]

because ...

BECAUSE... this discord will kill him some day xD

[ornate maple]

Joaquin Phoenix method acted so hard he made a discord account

[trim wind]

Haha damn…

[austere crag]

just got home and hopped on my puter. 1 day remains and i'll get home early. the weekend's a long one as well. life is good.

[ornate maple]

Yayyyyy

[ornate maple]

Enjoy the long weekend

[austere crag]

it would be better if the finals was out i sure will

[ornate maple]

The beauty of THE FINALS is that once it's out there will be many more weekends and holidays to play

Use this time before release to do, like, laundry and stuff I suppose in case you lack the time for it later

[ornate maple]

How have I never seen this? It's incredible...

[hard coral]

It's from my folder of adorable clips, that's all I know

[trim wind]

This is the clip that Embark was founded on

[nocturne tundra]

Right next to the homework folder?

[full mauve]

Noops is too old for homework silly

he left school a long time ago

[hard coral]

I actually almost always have an MOOC going so I do in fact still get homework assignments

[full mauve]

:o

care to recommend 👀

[trim wind]

Life long learning

[hard coral]

I mean in the end it depends what you like to learn. On the top of most fun ones I've done I have to say https://www.edx.org/course/artificial-intelligence-ai or https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:CaltechDelftX+QuCryptox+3T2018/home, the first doesn't have any new dates announced so might not be running again, the latter I think you can still do but it might just be that I can see that because I already did the course once

[full mauve]

ok thanks Noops

[austere crag]

@gritty wagon

If you want the authentic experience here's the clip lol

[south turret]

[full mauve]

Kyne you have the best fucking villain laugh i’ve ever heard

[median eagle]

i already watched it and its a must must watch

[gusty pumice]

I have watched it ten times already

[austere crag]

The most diabolical laugh

[waxen tree]

Was practicing drawing and chose to try drawing a sad scene from Sao and accidentally made it look like asuna is laughing at Kirito as he lies on the ground, can’t stop laughing now lol

new ui

[gleaming ether]

ohhh, interesting. thanks for sharing. gonna try that out

[bleak talon]

np

[sturdy forge]

the game be taking abit to get released

[spice crater]

cool new ui

[austere crag]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/3686801719529689367?l=english

I just want everyone to know that this is the first time the top navbar has been updated since 2010

And the in-game overlay is now actually usable instead of looking like an unfinished concept

[full mauve]

well done Valve 👏

[ornate maple]

An actually visible Steam update? I am surprised

I swear Steam tells me to update and restart every 2 days

[austere crag]

I was in genuine disbelief when i finally decided to update my client after 14 centuries

I thought that

A) i was tripping
B) i have some skin i forgot about installed

Valve is up to something weird

(Called making software as a software development company)

We get one of the biggest Dota 2 updates ever, a whole new Counter-Strike and (basically) confirmation that we’re getting at least 1 more game in the HL universe soon

[ornate maple]

Time to update my Steam and see what's up

[austere crag]

FYI: this is an update that’s only on the beta channel

[full mauve]

i’ll update it in 12 hours because i cba to update when i’m not at my computer

[austere crag]

I’ll do it when i get home in around 3-ish hours

[ornate maple]

Looks like I don't have it yet!

[austere crag]

I like that the release notes state “Some of the biggest changes in this update aren’t immediately visible”. Valve what are you talking about this is the biggest change to steam since the library update 5 years ago

[gleaming ether]

You need to opt-in for the Steam Beta somewhere in the options (I already have the new client and it shows differently so can't tell you the exact way, but somewhere in the steam settings)

[austere crag]

It’s in general on desktop iirc

On the topic of updates, markdown v2 will be enabled on Discord in about 16 hours from now

[ornate maple]

Ah I see, thanks

[austere crag]

Translation for the “just get to the point already” fellas here:

Text can now be different sizes and you can insert tables, basically basic HTML markup is now a thing on discord

[ornate maple]

I like the overlay improvements, but also I don't use overlay ever

[austere crag]

I literally only open the overlay while looking for the solution for an achievement

[ornate maple]

Me just alt tabbing

[trim wind]

I’ll have a lookie in a moment

[rotund gyro]

@dawn bay

[trim wind]

@hollow fjord retired again?

[dawn bay]

pretty much

[ornate maple]

They're Mod Wooper now

[trim wind]

Looks like they are just finalist wooper now

[ornate maple]

They're using a different account

[dawn bay]

cms are studio employees or?

[rotund gyro]

Community managers

[ornate maple]

Yes and yes

[dawn bay]

ik what the title is 😄 but ty

you never know these days with community ran servers being everywhere

[rotund gyro]

Oh, what's a studio employee

[dawn bay]

an employee of the studio

developer/publisher usually

aka on the payroll 😛

[ornate maple]

We're job-guys, mods are volunteer-guys

[dawn bay]

yeah thats basically what i wondered lol

[rotund gyro]

Ahh

Today i learned

[dawn bay]

one day community mods will be paid....... surely 😓

[south turret]

Being a mod and not getting paid...

[rotund gyro]

They pay Nate in shinies, not money. Jackdaws love shinies

[dawn bay]

i get paid in abuse

[rotund gyro]

Uhh

[ornate maple]

Yeah I get gemstone bags (worth 15 gp) and iron and silver pieces I use for my magic circle spells

[rotund gyro]

Now you have to elaborate

[dawn bay]

hahahha, tldr toxic community

[rotund gyro]

Oh. Just feed off of it

[dawn bay]

something like that yeah

[ornate maple]

Well, the fun mod privilege is one can step back any time if it gets too much

[rotund gyro]

I'm convinced that you're the bird Mr bean got tortured by in the cartoon show

[dawn bay]

imagine being able to actually do that

[ornate maple]

Go into the CM career if you're just really really determined

[ornate maple]

Ngl haven't seen that

[sharp phoenix]

Morning

[ornate maple]

Heya Luke

[rotund gyro]

Ok now you have to elaborate more

[dawn bay]

[ornate maple]

Betting they're the only responsible person or something

[rotund gyro]

Linc straight up just leaving breadcrumbs lmao

[ornate maple]

The hard truth is sometimes a mod carries the whole community

[rotund gyro]

(you actually don't have to elaborate, I'm just teasing)

[dawn bay]

pretty much nothing really gets done otherwise

only person to ever bring in additional people to team etc

[rotund gyro]

Morning Luke

[dawn bay]

despite every other person whining for more people lol

[rotund gyro]

It do be like that

[ornate maple]

I'd say if it gets too much just pass it to the next most trustworthy person and go, your mental health is more important ngl

[dawn bay]

first id have to find one

[rotund gyro]

First candidate: @ornate maple

[ornate maple]

Sometimes mods nuke communities and it ends up the best choice to build it again ground up

[dawn bay]

oh yeah that happens often

[rotund gyro]

...often?

[dawn bay]

i call it the gen chat cleanse

[ornate maple]

Smaller communities that don't have the right pillars to stand on will often devolve into chaos

Often because a group of mods can't agree on how to moderate

[dawn bay]

if only that were the case 😛

[trim wind]

I also understand that a CM isn’t necessarily a mod.. they do all kinds of jobs behind the scenes

[rotund gyro]

In glad I'm not a mod anymore lmao. Tbf the community i helped run was very strict

[ornate maple]

Getting lots of raids/trolls? Im assuming one person cannot handle that much

[ornate maple]

Yeah, and it super depends who you work for too

[dawn bay]

not that often anymore actually

[rotund gyro]

Another breadcrumb huh, elaborate

[ornate maple]

Lincuxe really doesn't want to spill

[dawn bay]

lmao

[rotund gyro]

But the drops are raining

[dawn bay]

500k member with less than 10 mods and probably only 6 are "active"

[ornate maple]

I really enjoy being a mod

[trim wind]

Gen chat cleanse?

[sharp phoenix]

And being twerked on?

[rotund gyro]

🍼

[ornate maple]

Yeah that is way too much haha. I'm sorry you're struggling to find enough people to actually help

[rotund gyro]

What about now?

[ornate maple]

No job is perfect

[trim wind]

Sounds like muting everyone born after 1995 xD

[ornate maple]

I'm immune to baby formula

[ornate maple]

So 90% of Discord

[rotund gyro]

Then bottoms up Nate 🍼

[dawn bay]

hahahha

id have to mute myself 😭

[sharp phoenix]

No no, everyone after 2000

[trim wind]

Back in my day…

[ornate maple]

When you realize people born after 2000 are getting married and having kids

[rotund gyro]

Povich your boomerism is showing.

[trim wind]

That is very young though

[ornate maple]

He's only like 30 too

[dawn bay]

30 not so bad

[trim wind]

Haha I did tell you the story of the cinema right? Grumpy old man Povich complaining about the noise?

I just wanna watch my movie :c

[sharp phoenix]

I mean, I understand that

[dawn bay]

i hate that too lol

[rotund gyro]

I mean I would be pissed too

[sharp phoenix]

Fuck people who make noise in the cinema

[trim wind]

And run over the seats, talk, make pictures

Constantly use the flashlight to find all the food they dropped

[ornate maple]

What kind of cinemas do you go to

[rotund gyro]

That's why i exclusively go to cinemas that require you to be 18+. No kids to ruin the movie

[dawn bay]

im the type of person to turn around and tell them to shut up though so not much of a problem for me

[sharp phoenix]

The cheap ones

[trim wind]

👀

[rotund gyro]

Yes povich they exist

[ornate maple]

Povich

[trim wind]

Not cheap at all.. Kinepolis

[ornate maple]

Stop it

[trim wind]

13,50 for a basic movie

[sharp phoenix]

Ouch

[trim wind]

Without lasers and 3D stuff

[rotund gyro]

That's cheap compared to Stockholm prices

[nocturne tundra]

Those kind of cinemas don't show John Wick 4 tho :/

[ornate maple]

I dunno dutch prices

[rotund gyro]

They do actially

[trim wind]

[nocturne tundra]

[sharp phoenix]

Mine is usually only like £5 a ticket

[trim wind]

Well kinepolis is about.. the most expensive one I’d say..

[rotund gyro]

Wait it doesn't NOOOOOOOOOO

[ornate maple]

[rotund gyro]

Oh well

11 pm screening it is then

[ornate maple]

I once went to a night marathon and then slept through a third of it

[trim wind]

That movie probably only shows the adventures of Linda lovela…

Ok ok

[rotund gyro]

What

[trim wind]

Amanda did a good job tbf

[dawn bay]

imagine having the attention span to sit through movies often

[trim wind]

There was a movie about the first adult superstar

[sharp phoenix]

Hey @spice crater

[rotund gyro]

I mean if you enjoy the movie, isn't it having your full attention then?

[spice crater]

sup big dwag nice finalist role

[dawn bay]

has to be reaaaaaally good else I'm moving around fidgeting everywhere lol

[sharp phoenix]

Thanks bro, haven't seen you around in a hot while

[ornate maple]

I need to talk through movies and annoy people, so home TV it is

[trim wind]

I’m not gonna explain it further because I don’t want to push the rules

[ornate maple]

Action movies are nice to watch in cinemas though

[rotund gyro]

That reminds me of this tik tok craze where people are watching 2 screens. One is a movie and the other is the most random shit I've seen

[dawn bay]

never invite nate over for movie

[ornate maple]

TBH

[dawn bay]

oh yeah i'm constantly doing 2 things at once lol

[rotund gyro]

Oh no....

[trim wind]

I do like some good action on the big screen yeah

I loved bullet train

[spice crater]

yuh no prob bob. life dug its hook into me just been lurkin

[dawn bay]

but with movies i'm usually watching it with someone so I try not to do anything other than be present

[cinder wedge]

low attention span mfs

[trim wind]

I watched it on netflix again and it wasn’t the same

[ornate maple]

What was that Lincuxe said about abuse

[rotund gyro]

Fitting ain't it

[dawn bay]

🤣

[rotund gyro]

This one's on you tho

[dawn bay]

yeah kinda deserved

[trim wind]

If I’m watching a movie with a friend we better snuggle up with a blanket

[sharp phoenix]

Fair, hope you're doing good

[ornate maple]

Snuggling with homies>>>

[ornate maple]

Happy to see you here!

[rotund gyro]

Me when I'm with Nate and we're watching a movie

[trim wind]

Haha well only the lady friends tbh

[sharp phoenix]

If you guys like action movies, I suggest watching "Nobody" if you haven't already

[spice crater]

https://tenor.com/view/whats-up-gif-5139153

[ornate maple]

Don't be like that, your homies need a hug too

[trim wind]

They get a hug when I arrive at their house and when I get kicked out for raiding the supply cabinet

[spice crater]

that and ive been buying vr stuff

[rotund gyro]

I retired my VR headset when oculus decided not to support it anymore 😦

[trim wind]

I’m not a monster

[sharp phoenix]

You sound like my German mate, as soon as he entered my mates house he went straight into the food cupboard and started eating everything

[spice crater]

oof what headset, i just bought a htc vive.

[trim wind]

I sold my vr headset because naussea

[ornate maple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5zsMoUAlac

[rotund gyro]

Rift S

[spice crater]

oh damn wtf

[rotund gyro]

LOOOOOOOOL

[spice crater]

yeah my dumb base station came here defective :(

[rotund gyro]

Yeah they decided to only support the quest 2 when that released and dropped any other support

[spice crater]

thats so dumb wtf

[rotund gyro]

[sharp phoenix]

Wait, they don't support the rift s anymore ?

[trim wind]

Wtf.. thats a 400 euro headset turned to ewaste

[ornate maple]

That video always kills me

[trim wind]

I mean the rift S was a cursed headset

[rotund gyro]

No more updates and all that

[sharp phoenix]

Time to get rid of mine I guess

[dawn bay]

reminding me that i should really charge my quest 2

[rotund gyro]

But hey it's okay, i managed to play half life Alyx on it, as well as be number 1 in Sweden on beat saber songs on expert+ difficulty so I'm chillin

[trim wind]

80hz, plenty screendoor effect and not the best colors

[spice crater]

yeah im kinda on a budget and best deal i got was a htc vive headset + controllers + link box and 15m cable for like 200 bucks. i had to buy a base station for like 100 bucks

so 300 usd for a decent headset

[trim wind]

It didnt need basestations so thats nice

[spice crater]

huh yeah it does

the htc vive does

im only using one cuz i have no room

[sharp phoenix]

Inside out tracking kinda sucked anyway

[spice crater]

?

[rotund gyro]

If i ever get another headset, it will be the valve index

[spice crater]

whats that

[dawn bay]

dont

[rotund gyro]

Hm?

ahem elaborate

I'm starting to see a pattern with linc here

[dawn bay]

overpriced, specs arent that different than anything else on the market, has its own issues and low build quality

[spice crater]

htc vive gang

[sharp phoenix]

The base stationless headsets are "inside-out tracking" like the rift s, quest and everything

[rotund gyro]

🗒️ ✍️

[dawn bay]

friend of mine has had constant issues with it and rmca'd 2 of them within a year because the speakers or controllers broke

[spice crater]

ohhh okay makes sense, i used a quest before and it was ok at tracking but ive used a htc vive before and it was waaay better

[austere crag]

Leavin in 16 minuters

[rotund gyro]

I see. Well I'm not getting a headset anytime soon so in a few years when I move to a bigger apartment then i might start doing my research. Thanks for the info, didn't know they were that bad

[austere crag]

Hmmm

[dawn bay]

newer GPU's also have problems with the index too

[austere crag]

When i get home what should i do

Honestly i might dig through my epic library

I have a shit ton of games there that i’ve never even launched

[trim wind]

I will wait till they basically solve screendoor and aren’t too expensive

[spice crater]

oh shit same

[austere crag]

It’s like 180-something

[rotund gyro]

Damn.... And here I thought that rift s being janky on windows 11 was a bad thing already

[spice crater]

whats screen door?

[trim wind]

That you can see a pattern between the pixels

[dawn bay]

tbh vr is just a very niche market, its most of the time not worthwhile to spend that much on it

[trim wind]

Like a screendoor..

[dawn bay]

theres very few games worth playing

[sharp phoenix]

A door that has a screen in it

[spice crater]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-stupid-brainlet-wojak-meme-gif-17170021

[rotund gyro]

True. I haven't seen anything that's the quality of half life Alyx and its a shame

[trim wind]

Don’t worry about it

[dawn bay]

dont get me wrong though yasine, other headsets have their own issues

[austere crag]

The thing that annoys me the most has to be how low the PPE is on the Quest

[dawn bay]

but for the price of the index, you want 0 issues ykno

[spice crater]

eh a bunch of my friends play vr i know irl so thats mainly why im getting one

[austere crag]

Maybe i have really sensitive eyes but i can clearly notice the pixels, especially on flat imagery

[rotund gyro]

Oh yeah for sure. I actually returned the vive cosmos before getting the rift s. Oh my god the cosmos SUCKED

[spice crater]

vr fomo fr

[dawn bay]

only ever had the quest 2 tbh, had pretty much every bug/issue possible early on then was fine

[rotund gyro]

Fair enough

[austere crag]

bonelab + https://github.com/Lakatrazz/BONELAB-Fusion is the best VR experience don’t @ me

[rotund gyro]

Ok gotta get my ass to the gym. Cya

[dawn bay]

o/

id love to try bonelabs or alyx but my motion sickness ass cant handle it lol

[austere crag]

Somehow i didn’t feel motion sick at all

Even when i had to casually fall down heights

[dawn bay]

i get really bad, even tried to move around in vr chat to try to get used to it and nope, wanted to throw up

[austere crag]

It feels super weird sure but i don’t feel like i need to take the headset off

[dawn bay]

had same problem in that VR shooter too, forgot the name

[austere crag]

i only take the headset off after each track in beat saber to prevent the almighty VR face

[dawn bay]

pavlov ! that is the name lol

beatsaber i can go for hours and hours np since there's no unnatural movement lol

[austere crag]

I actually didn’t like pavlov vr that much

It just felt overly clunky and was honestly pretty ugly

[sharp phoenix]

Beat saber was really good however I'm pretty sure my rift s kept fucking up the tracking

[dawn bay]

tracking gets bad when controllers are lower %

[trim wind]

Use your words :c

pavlov is kinda fun concept, i enjoyed the short time i played it but cannot play it due to wanting to puke x)

[austere crag]

My worst experience in VR was when i was casually playing superhot VR and knocked my pinky finger straight into the edge of my closet, jamming it between the controller and closet

[dawn bay]

ouchhhhh

[austere crag]

I did not spend the 15 minutes after that cussing, trust me. Totally didn’t happen. Nope. I wouldn’t do that. Never. Ever.

[dawn bay]

I only ever whacked the controller itself

The giant circles on it made a great shield 😄

[austere crag]

I think the worst design flaw of the touch controllers are the hand tracking rings

They’re a thin piece of plastic that makes the controller practically useless if broken

[dawn bay]

yeah I guess so

mine seem pretty robust though

[austere crag]

And they face forward on the quest 2 making them even more prone to damage

Actually what am i talking about??? They don’t i’m being a silly goober

That was the case with the rift controllers iirc

Oh and i didn’t even talk about the analog sticks on the quest 2

[dawn bay]

congrats, now i'm digging mine out and gonna prep the batteries...

[austere crag]

Just awful. Absolutely awful. They’re tiny, stiff, and the grips around the edges dig straight into my fingers

I found the best gaming setup by far

Now that is airflow

[dawn bay]

o ya the sticks suck

but i didnt often use them ig

[sharp phoenix]

Peak airflow with ziptied GPUs

[dawn bay]

no way, both headset and controllers still 80% battery after months of no use

these things usually drain it even with days of no use x)

[sharp phoenix]

Decent batteries

[dawn bay]

yep! time to update my beatsaber mods ig 😄

[rotund gyro]

I could never finish crystallized on expert+. Fking camellia with his good tunes but hard as hell maps

I settled on expert and called it a day after one year lmao

[dawn bay]

yeah no, theres something about the base maps that just suck for my brain

the mapping feels so backward to me

same speed same song but non base game mapping? no problem

[rotund gyro]

I managed to do expert+ on angel voices though so phew

Hell of a workout

[trim wind]

The PSVR2 hopefully forces the Pc#C VR headset makers to step up their game

I wanna see inside out tracking on a top spec headset and still not cost as much as a midrange pc

[dawn bay]

i'm interested to see what apple do lol

[trim wind]

Maybe with the AMD Z1 chips they can do some coprocessing to make it easier to run games without compromise on VR and all

[trim wind]

Me too, but they clearly got spooked by PsVR2 and whatever HTC made haha

[rotund gyro]

Apple I think is aiming for more AR than VR

[trim wind]

Not that their headset will be gaming orientated anyways

True, true.. nevertheless its gonna be interesting

[rotund gyro]

Yeah

[trim wind]

The problem with apple is mostly they are stubborn as hell.. I think the M2 chips could run the finals if apple allowed support for vulkan

So its attainable and not another pain for devs since its too niche to port

[rotund gyro]

It’s apple’s way or….. they don’t develop for their platform

[trim wind]

I’m sure metal is a great api in its own right but if only 2% of all apple users play games on their MacBooks (probably on the high end) thats a niche in a niche

Thats like… a million people and thats before even looking at target audience… spec and all that jazz

Would you make a game that may interest 50k people.. kinda risky

Over lets say.. millions and millions of steam users haha

[dawn bay]

yeah im just interested in the direction they take 😄

[rotund gyro]

It is what it is. Apple has a lot of money to do whatever they want

[dawn bay]

better to try things, fail and learn from it than not

[rotund gyro]

I do like their ecosystem, but locks you down too much

Like, airpods can’t even be updated without an iPhone or iPad

[dawn bay]

id kill for a macbook or something

[rotund gyro]

I’d say heavily depends on why type of use case you have with a Mac. I would never want one for example. Too much tools I need that is incompatible with Mac

[trim wind]

I have a macbook, iPhone, apple watch and an airtag

This is the way

[dawn bay]

yeah im doing a lot of creative things and it would essentially speed things up/be less of a hassle to work with

[trim wind]

I did not go for airpods though.. I have the Sony WF-1000XM4

[rotund gyro]

Welcome to the club. I have almost the same. AirPods Pro 2, iPhone and watch

[dawn bay]

iphones/ipad/airpods/watch etc

[trim wind]

I do want an iPad

[rotund gyro]

Have you seen the leaked xm5s?

[trim wind]

ProCreate

[dawn bay]

love mine 😄

YES ! exactly

literally bought mine for procreate

[trim wind]

No.. tell me more.. but not too much because server rules

I need to replace my tips though.. the standard ones irritate my ears and when I clean them to get little tears

[rotund gyro]

Check out comply foam tips!

[trim wind]

Thanks ❤️ savior!

I def need a little tech defending

When my ear gets annoyed I get a ton of wax on the tips but if they go in its such a pain to clean

[ornate maple]

My ears also hate earphones, tbh headphones rule

I guess if you get a lot of throat infections or something that could be related

[trim wind]

Interesting…

“First kiss” can’t wait to test that theory

[ornate maple]

I... Why would someone put this on a WC cleaner

[trim wind]

I bought it

This better fulfill my expectations

[ornate maple]

Don't treat the text as like a suggestion

[trim wind]

too late

making out with my toilet as we speak... /j

[gleaming ether]

[ornate maple]

Ooh, exciting stuff

[trim wind]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-gif-18382774

[dawn bay]

the lame thing is no game with the console and having to wait another 2 weeks for my new zeldo

since when are limited editions released like this 😡

[gleaming ether]

reminds me of the one time when there was wc-cleaner in my shower

[rotund gyro]

Just the model of them having been leaked online

They look a bit different that’s all. But the fact is, they exist

Also, workout complete!

[trim wind]

nice nice

[ornate maple]

Do you look like this now:

[rotund gyro]

How did you know

[ornate maple]

I'm an empath

[rotund gyro]

No you’re a jackdaw

[trim wind]

nate going for the plausible deniability

[ornate maple]

I can be both an empath and a jackdaw 👀
